4: the lack of cooperation by China therefore also means that they can’t rule out a lab but admit they have no evidence that implicates it either 5: no cooperation from intel agencies stating they have evidence of 4 means it can’t be evaluated 6: SAGO notes anything in 5 may be politically tainted

So the bottom line with SAGO is that they say: 1: the extant evidence makes the market and the wildlife trading the most likely source 2: no cooperation by China means they can’t be sure how it got to HSM but it was unlikely circulating beforehand 3 no persuasive evidence produced by online sleuths

I can see that 😆

Nobody credible had *any* issues discussing hypotheses about a potential lab leak, nor was anybody censored. Pure fiction. How do I know? Well, I brought up that exact concern with the highest level of public health officials, as well as the NAS - and let me tell you, they took me very seriously.
